An interesting premise, but it lacked the “juiciness “ or “meatiness” I expected. I got impatient waiting for the twist, and would have preferred to have explored some of the dark
secret society/cult
aspects in way more detail than to have so much build up. Overall fun and entertaining though. Felt a little too American for my taste, relying on extremely regionally specific tropes and references and a deeply privileged outlook on feminism.
